advising men to think carefully before getting screened for prostate cancer. our next guest says fewer screenings could put the health of younger men at risk. joining us now is doctor sim mo simoti. men 40 to 50 shouldn't get tested if they are at average risk from 55 to 69 that's the testing that makes most sense and men over 70 can probably skip it. what do you make of all of this? >> i think this was the news that came right before we got to the aua a couple weeks ago in san diego. we didn't expect to get news like this. basically what they are saying is the risk of screening could be too much. you are going to find a lot of cancers that may not threaten your life but i think also the argument against this is you are going to miss out a lot of aggressive cancers among younger guys. we see in our practice a lot of 40-year-olds, 45-year-olds that have having aggressive cancers

and was found because of psa. if you are not going to do that you are going to see met it metasticism. if you have high risk family history, african americans and if you like to know about your psa you can ask your doctor. just because the guidelines says you can't get it doesn't mean you should stop screening. you have to be wise about this. >> you can ask your doctor even if it is not recommended. are there money issues here? >> heading toward owe bau ma'am care that plays a role in this financial aspect of this. i always tell my patients over diagnosis, knowing what exactly is going on with you should not lead to over treatment. there are experts who might say wait a minute maybe we do an mri before surgery now we have genetics tests coming in so we can screen who is at high risk

an low risk. even if you are diagnosed with prostate cancer you don't necessarily need surgery. check with your doctor or surgeon to see what the next treatment is. we will come up with a new web site that will put a lot of in about this. for the time being if people were prostate cancer and need more information they can go to robotic oncology.com. we are going to answer a lot of their questions. very confusing. >> it is. the standards keep changing. >> 25 after the hour. still to come the dead list tornado to hit the united states so far this year. at least six dead, others still reported missing at this hour. we are live on the ground in texas straight ahead. also a get out of jail free card. hundreds of illegal immigrants with criminal records were released because of sequestration. first on this day in history in 2000 the final episode of beverly hills 90210 aired that show premiered in 1990 and ran
